Ahead of the big <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apples-iphone-17-event-is-right-around-the-corner-heres-everything-we-know-so-far\/\">iPhone 17 launch<\/a>, more details about the long-rumored iPhone Fold have emerged. It is said to be a book-style foldable like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-just-gave-the-pixel-foldable-phone-its-most-important-upgrade-yet-and-samsung-should-follow-suit\/\">Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold<\/a> and S<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-spent-a-week-in-new-york-city-with-the-samsung-z-fold-7-and-it-spoiled-me-the-entire-time\/\">amsung Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apples-iphone-17-event-is-right-around-the-corner-heres-everything-we-know-so-far\/\">Apple&#8217;s iPhone 17 event is right around the corner &#8211; here&#8217;s everything we know so far<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While rival companies have been making such phones for a few years now, the Apple iPhone Fold will debut in a more mature market. I expect it to be more mature than first-generation Android foldables. However, this also means Apple will be entering a new segment that&#8217;s more competitive than ever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are the five iPhone Fold features that could make it on par (or even better) than Android folding phones.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Slightly thicker than the Samsung Z Fold 7<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large c-shortcodeImage-hasCaption\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apple-iphone-18-fold-is-coming-soon-5-biggest-rumors-and-leaks-going-into-2026\/\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_caption g-inner-spacing-right-small g-color-black\" readability=\"6.5\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\" readability=\"33\">\n<p>When unfolded, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures at just 4.2mm thick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Kerry Wan\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bloomberg&#8217;s Mark Gurman has reported multiple times that the first Apple foldable will be similar to Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Z Fold series. It will also come close to the book-style foldable&#8217;s design in terms of thickness and crease visibility. According to <span class=\"c-commerceLink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mingchikuo.craft.me\/84AOn3Ll8Zah6f\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><span>industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo<\/span><!----><\/a><\/span>, the iPhone Fold could measure between 9- and 9.5mm when folded, and around 4.5- to 4.8mm when unfolded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-to-clear-your-iphone-cache-and-why-you-should-do-it-before-the-ios-26-update\/\">How to clear your iPhone cache (and why you should do it before the iOS 26 update)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For context, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when unfolded. While a few millimeters might not seem like a big deal, they affect the in-hand feel immensely. That&#8217;s why I like the Samsung foldable more than its competitors.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Not a tense crease situation<\/h2>\n<p>In a <span class=\"c-commerceLink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2025-08-24\/apple-to-launch-iphone-17-pro-iphone-17-air-in-september-iphone-fold-next-year-mepmzpcj\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><span>recent report<\/span><!----><\/a><\/span>, Gurman explained that in-cell touch screen technology could help make the iPhone Fold&#8217;s crease less obvious. It is also said to have liquid metal in the hinges to improve durability and help eliminate the crease. It could feature a titanium chassis, with the hinge made from a combination of titanium and stainless steel.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/oppos-new-foldable-phone-is-one-of-the-thinnest-ive-seen-and-i-hope-oneplus-and-samsung-follow-suit\/\">Oppo Find N5<\/a> have small creases, but they get more pronounced with age. Apple&#8217;s first foldable crease situation should be better than the two-generation-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-5-hands-on-review\/\">Galaxy Fold 5<\/a>, and it&#8217;ll be interesting to see if it comes close to the current-gen models, especially when most Chinese foldables have solved the issue in recent years.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Unfolding into an iPad (not iPad Mini)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apple-iphone-18-fold-is-coming-soon-5-biggest-rumors-and-leaks-going-into-2026\/\" alt=\"iPad Mini 7 running Lightroom\" width=\"1280\" height=\"719.2015968063872\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Prakhar Khanna\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The iPhone Fold is said to feature a 5.5-inch outer display, which is smaller than the base <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/iphone-16-review-why-im-recommending-this-model-over-the-pro-this-year\/\">iPhone 16<\/a>&#8216;s 6.1-inch screen. This will help it unfold into a 7.8-inch iPad-style screen, giving you a 4:3 aspect ratio display. Unlike the iPad Mini&#8217;s 3:2 aspect ratio, a 4:3 screen is closer to the squarish aspect ratio of the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/these-14-secret-codes-revealed-hidden-menus-on-my-iphone-and-android\/\">These 14 secret codes revealed hidden menus on my iPhone and Android<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a result, it&#8217;ll have more letterboxing in video content than an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-the-new-ipad-mini-renewed-my-love-for-photo-editing\/\">iPad Mini<\/a>, but it should be on par with other foldables. You should still get a bigger screen area to watch your favorite shows than you get with a regular slab phone. The inner display is rumored to have a 2,713 x 1,920-pixel resolution, whereas the cover screen could sport a 2,088 x 1,422-pixel resolution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>4. One less camera than others<\/h2>\n<p>Most book-style foldables have five cameras in total: one inside the cover screen, another inside the folding display, and three on the rear, comprising a primary camera, a telephoto sensor, and an ultrawide-angle lens. However, the first Apple foldable could drop a rear camera in favor of housing a total of four sensors.<\/p>\n<p>According to a new report from Gurman, the iPhone Fold will feature a dual rear camera setup, alongside one on the front and one on the inside. So, it could be less versatile than Samsung, Google, and other Chinese offerings. The Vivo X Fold 5 and Oppo Find N5 are on a whole other level of foldable phone photography, and it&#8217;ll be hard for the iPhone Fold to beat them.<\/p>\n<h2>5. One throwback feature and an iPhone 17 Air-like spec<\/h2>\n<p>The iPhone Fold could use Touch ID instead of Face ID for biometric authentication. The former was phased out earlier this year from iPhones with the launch of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-replaced-my-iphone-16-pro-with-the-16e-for-a-month-heres-my-buying-advice-now\/#link={%22role%22:%22standard%22,%22href%22:%22https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-replaced-my-iphone-16-pro-with-the-16e-for-a-month-heres-my-buying-advice-now\/%22,%22target%22:%22_blank%22,%22absolute%22:%22%22,%22linkText%22:%22iPhone 16e%22}\">iPhone 16e<\/a>. However, Touch ID remains an integral part of other Apple products, including iPads and MacBooks. It remains to be seen if the Cupertino giant opts for an all-new in-display fingerprint scanner or follows the iPad model by embedding it into the power button.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-pixel-10-pro-fold-vs-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-i-compared-both-androids-and-heres-the-winner\/\">Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold vs. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: I compared both Androids, and here&#8217;s the winner<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Gurman, the first Apple foldable will also lack a SIM card, like the iPhone 17 Air. (Google recently moved to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-made-a-bold-move-with-the-pixel-10-even-if-its-not-obvious-yet-heres-why\/\">eSIM-only format in the Pixel 10 lineup<\/a> for the US market.) It&#8217;s a tricky situation to not have a physical SIM card slot in your phone, and it doesn&#8217;t really benefit the consumer, in my opinion. I speculate the iPhone Fold will retain a SIM slot for other markets, like the Pixel 10 lineup, but there&#8217;s no confirmation on it yet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What else?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apple-iphone-18-fold-is-coming-soon-5-biggest-rumors-and-leaks-going-into-2026\/\" alt=\"iPhone 16e vs Iphone 16 Pro\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720.2133333333334\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Sabrina Ortiz\/ZDNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The iPhone Fold could feature Apple&#8217;s second-generation C2 modem for cellular connectivity, which will be a step up from its first in-house C1 modem found inside the iPhone 16e. The C2 cellular modem is claimed to have &#8220;capabilities approaching the latest from Qualcomm.&#8221; The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/buying-an-iphone-18-next-year-may-look-a-little-different-and-why-you-should-be-excited\/\">iPhone 18 Pro lineup<\/a> is also touted to use the same modem.<\/p>\n<p>The first foldable iPhone is also said to pack <span class=\"c-commerceLink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mingchikuo.craft.me\/84AOn3Ll8Zah6f\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\"><span>high-density battery cells<\/span><!----><\/a><\/span>, which are speculated to make their way onto the iPhone 17 Air in a few weeks. This battery technology is what helped make Oppo, Vivo, and Honor foldables so slim despite packing a 5,000mAh+ battery capacity.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple iPhone Fold price and release date<\/h2>\n<p>The first Apple iPhone Fold is tipped to launch in 2026, alongside the iPhone 18 Pro series. Apple is rumored to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/buying-an-iphone-18-next-year-may-look-a-little-different-and-why-you-should-be-excited\/\">revamp its launch strategy<\/a> starting next year, when it&#8217;ll announce the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold together, while the iPhone 18 will be launched in early 2027 alongside the iPhone 18e.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-iphone\/\">I tested the best iPhones: Here are the latest models that suit you most<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to previous reports, the iPhone Fold could be priced around $2,000.
